Hi.
For whatever reasons I'm using the JDK1.2beta3 exclusively. When I executed
jigadm under the beta code, mouse clicks started generating exceptions. jigadm
is unusable. As a solution and as a pretext for getting better acquainted with
JigSaw, I thought I would recompile the sourece under 1.2beta3.
There are a number of problems which are probably well know to jigsaw initiates
(I'm not one of them, unfortunately).
Package naming changes have not been completely updated throughout the source
files. This means basically that the 'org' level of the hierarchy is missing in
a number of files. I haven't looked into the details of this but it is probably
something that I can fix with a simple edit, provided the classes actually
exist. This effects the 'indexer' group as well as 'contrib'
However, main.java in tools.resources is giving me trouble. Here are the two
errors that my (nice little) Kawa system generates for me:
Main.java:35: Wrong number of arguments in constructor.
manager = new ResourceStoreManager(storedir, root_class, root_name,
^
Main.java:288: Exception org.w3c.tools.resources.MultipleLockException must be
caught, or it must be declared in the throws clause of this method.
cont.delete(delname);
^
2 errors
This, to be honest, is a little beyond me and even if it weren't, I'm not sure
it would be my responsibility to make any changes.
Can anyone give me a hand with this? Can anyone say whether or not I could use
the 1.2beta compile of the jigadm code along with the distribution binaries of
the rest of jigsaw? Would it help?
Thanks. ...edN
